Crochet: Changing Colors

[TBritterson]

OMGOSH! I cannot wait to be crocheting that fast!!! Awesome!

[yurihanna12]

do you ever have time for your son?

[phillykidd0223]

when you crochet do you floow patt. or just go for it? i would like to do patt. but have a hard time understanding them or the counting all the time ( i mean you have a baby sometimes we get distracted!! lol)

[catlynn1964]

You made this so easy! My only question is when you introduce the new color (exaample the light blue & added the darker color) at the end of the chain, where do you clip the end of it? I've got to many "tails" TY!

[misspriss607]

Say you are changing colors in the middle of the row (I'm trying to make an abc afgan) and you switch back colors say 5 crochets later, how can you change back to the main color while still in the same row? and not have loose strings everywhere? Thanks for the help!

[fill9twos]

Thanks for sharing this superb technique.

[caseyandsons]

That was a really helpful tutorial. Changing colors is always been a challenge for me. Thanks.

[JESblankets]

@caseyandsons i am glad it helped!!

[TheCrackerGram]

thank you!

[MzCherries2010]

OMG!!! I looked every where to change colors............ I subscribed to your page cause your the only one that made me get it... :) thanks

[redpoolsea]

ok so howm do we keep changing back and forth with two colours and not have a loop at the end??? so it just looks like its done with 1 piece of wool

[lolytte90]

is their any way you can weave the ends in as you crochet?

[edday101]

This was really helpful!! I am a first time crocheter and am making a blanket for my baby... thank you so much!! You made it really easy for me to follow along! :)

[laurelqueen]

that was really super easy, i did it on the first try! Thank You So Much!

[JESblankets]

@laurelqueen I am sooo glad you got it!!!!! Watch out now!!!

[ZombiexXCookie]

would this help for the afgan stich? I've been looking every where I'm having such a hard time finding a video for changing colors for afgan lol

[JESblankets]

@ZombiexXCookie I have no idea bout the afghan stitch!!! sorry

[laurapowell45]

Thank you this is very helpful.I am making a sweater for my youngest grand-daughter and this is the first time I've tried changing colors. It sounded easy in the directions but I just couldn't get it right. This is exactly what it said to do, but I just wasn't sure what pulling through the last two loops was without being able to see it, now it's like, "oh ya, those two loops, lol". Thanks again :)

[nelsonkim90]

hey really helpfull but 1 question what do i do with the first color string thats left over i cant just leave it lol

[JESblankets]

@nelsonkim90 look into getting a tapestry needle. and sew in the ends

[pammy024]

@JESblankets just cut it off

[TheSkinman2000]

thanks for the help. you explained it perfectly.

[Tenatiouz]

I hold my hook like a jedi sabre! Also I'm probably the only guy in all of Los Angeles that likes women and crocheting!! haha

[sstrouth]

Hi. Can you show a video of how to hide the ends once you are finished with a blanket project?

[Edhayam]

[karenebarnes]

Isn't it amazing how having your ownn children makes you revert to the things your mom taught you?

[cindysun2000]

hey ya thank you so much its much easier for me now to change colours.

[RGbrainstorm]

This is precisely what I was looking for. You're awesome.

I hold my hook like a pen too!

[mnjcfoxy]

Thank you so much. I was reading how to do this in a book but after watching you it all came together. You made it so simple to learn.

[JESblankets]

you are so welcome!!! sometimes it's a picture that pulls it all together!

[FlamingFairy]

Thanks for that - that was really useful for me!

[nemesis4825]

You sure do really fast!, it like I'm watching it fast foward..

Thank you so much, now I know how!!

[JESblankets]

[ressabessa]

[craziiishortiii]

Again, thx for the awesome vid showing how to change colors. I was stuck on this for a while, but now I think I got it! =)

[JESblankets]

cool!

[aimeelynn62007]

Thanks this was real helpful. I have been trying to figure out how to crochet since April and just figured out how to double crochet but I wanted to change colors and your video was very helpful. Thanks for making it.

[bluechacha69]

How do you hold the new yarn when you change color.

[sewinsuzie]

Thanks for the demo. You joggled my mind. I crochet for years and then got interested in quilting. My adult son told me that he loved an afghan I made when he was a teen with the colours and Maple Leaf in the centre of his favourite hockey team. I decided to make him another one. I loved hearing your son in the background. Good for you for making a terrific video. I really enjoyed it.

[JESblankets]

i'm glad a simple video like this brought back such wonderful memories!!!

[erika1987ro]

wow, you do that really fast, but at the same time, you do slow down to show what it is that you are doing at that high speed that you work at. great job, its a great video. some of them are hard to understand.

[bluedolphin46350]

Thank you so much for this vid! I'm a new crocheter and I really appreciate this video. It's awesome!

[kjm1017]

Lololol I'm making my first afghan out of Caron yarn. :D

[EJC0395]

Thanks so much for the video! It helped a TON! >:D

[JESblankets]

you're sooo welcome... show me what your doing!!! I'm working on a blanket as i sit here LOL

[aeh822]

THANK YOU! This was just what I needed. awesome!

[JESblankets]

no problem... i hope I get to see what you are making!!

[SIMSRULE27]

What I do is I do what you did but when you change from your old colour to your new one I would chain three and leave it so when I get back to it It's chained and doesn't look like a loose bit of string. But thats only what I do.

[1get0there2]

I need to start bsck up crocheting nice vid. Perhap you could show a girl how to start off. PLEASE!!!!

[JESblankets]

[jmusc]
